Continuing the Pekka ja Pätkä series was a clear decision for Suomen Filmiteollisuus, which advertised for a nearly two-meter-tall actor to play the Yeti.
They are puzzled by the shopping list's mention of "skis" until they read the day's newspaper, which reports a Yeti sighting in Lapland and a million-mark reward for its capture by radio host Karvajärvi.
Timo is the identical twin of Kalevi Vaske, a character from the previous film, which causes initial confusion for Pekka.
In Kilpisjärvi, the group stays at a mountain hotel, where Timo's girlfriend Irmeli Laavu (Tuija Halonen) and ski instructor Riku Sundman (Åke Lindman) are also present.
However, at the radio station, they discover the million-mark reward was an April Fools' joke, and the bundle actually contains Justiina, whom the Yeti had wrapped up.
